The woman is white with dark hair. The police description of the man thought to be her boyfriend is more detailed. He's about 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, 190 to 210 pounds, and has a noticeable tattoo on his left forearm. Police said he drives a black Dodge Durango, possibly a 1999 model. They said the woman sometimes accompanies him, but he often acts alone.

"It appears this individual is targeting areas with recreation facilities, such as baseball fields, even the YMCA parking lots. Areas where he knows people will not take their valuables inside and will leave them in their cars," said LMPD Maj. Barry Wilkerson.

Police said in just one month he has targeted more than 20 women in the Lyndon area.

They believe he trolls parking lots at places like the YMCA and Tom Sawyer State Park, watches who walks away carrying just keys and then breaks in those cars.

Police said the suspect appears to frequent the Lyndon ball fields the most. It's where they have responded to four or five break-ins a week for the past month.

Police said the break-ins usually happen between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Laka Wilson was out Thursday evening watching her son practice football. She admitted she has left her purse locked in her car.

She was furious when she learned what has been going on, saying, "I work hard for everything I have and he should get a job and work hard for everything he wants."

Stephanie Schulte also left her purse in the parking lot at the ball fields, but she returned to get it.

The mother admitted she is angry at the situation and herself, "I had no idea. I should have been safer just to begin with."

Police said the suspects have succeeded in running up thousands of dollars in fraudulent credit card charges.

LMPD officers said there have been ATM withdrawals, trips to the grocery store, and gas stations.

Purchases made in Louisville and in Indiana have also included some high-end electronics and gift cards at area Walmarts.

Wilkerson said he believes the man is the mastermind behind the month-long crime spree.

"We need to identify this individual to stop him as soon as possible and hold him accountable for what he's done," said Wilkerson.
